Chapter 376: The Sword in the Council Hall
The huge noise was endless, and on the premise that no one could hear who was saying clearly, the temporary speaker Shen Yuehe had no choice but to ring the gavel, and after a while, the hall returned to tranquility. But before Shen Yuehe could speak, a loud voice sounded from the seats of the Human Party.
"You must be playing some twisted joke, Mr. Congressman Leader?" Humanist MP Jodi. A sneer appeared on Hull's smooth face, and he looked at Nathaniel without the slightest disrespect. "Is this what you call a solution to the current diplomatic situation?"
"I'm not kidding, Mr. Hull, only by starting to solve the 'external troubles' can we find time to deal with the 'internal worries'." In the face of the deliberate ridicule of the young councillor Hull, Nathaniel was unmoved.
"You mean with war?!" Hull opened his mouth with an incredulous look on his face. "Drag the All-Silver Alliance into the baptism of fire, that's what you want? To obtain a diplomatic solution with the most intolerable barbarism of the Kanders? You say it's not a joke. He spread his hands to his colleagues, and a few echoing chuckles erupted from the Humanist sleek.
"I think this is the perfect moment to solve the crisis of the people of Vulcan." A man quickly stood up in the Coalition Party legislature, with his bloated figure and fierce eyes, and his soft blonde hair curled up at the corners of his forehead, which looked so maverick that people could recognize at a glance that it was Donald Brown, a well-known right-wing member of the ruling party. Johnson.
He glanced at Councillor Hull, shook his head slightly, and then bent his arms and fingers, and talked eloquently. "The Kande's policy of appeasement is naΓ―ve, and it is important to remember that they were once on the verge of being wiped out by their own subordinate clans. The Vulkens have provoked the Alliance, blown up the space station, killed diplomats, and attacked Valkyria without saying a word, and this is the perfect time to respond with our mighty fleet. β
"Congressman Johnson, are you saying here that we should go against the will of our allies and wage a shameful war of aggression?" Jody. Hull looked at him and sneered, for this extreme thinker, there were a large number of people in the Self-Willed Party and the Human Party.
"Aggression? The Vulken fleet was in our system earlier! Remember the colonization of the 200,000 Tramon? Remember the 83 Silver Alliance sailors who died in battle? "Donald. Johnson shot back.
"Which side is deliberately provoking the war, Valkyria's own opinion. The Vulken fleet has now returned to Bald, and we are going there, and the Kanders will not agree in the first place. Hull steered away from the topic Johnson was trying to channel.
"As allies, we have a military mutual aid agreement with the Khand, and they should send troops to support, not resist." Johnson said.
"Let the Kander help us fight the Walkens?" Heldale. "You really want to think of it, Congressman Johnson." He mocked the whimsy of the co-legislator while Johnson just looked at him coldly.
"If I'm not mistaken, I didn't mention any Khandian military assistance in the bill." Nathaniel reminded Hull. "They don't need to fight alongside us in this war, and the proposal for this operation will revolve entirely around our own fleet."
"Haha, that's a great irony coming out of the mouth of a collaborator." Hull laughed. "Long live the Silver Alliance, the union of the intelligent races, but at this time, the alliance treaty was completely overturned. It is no child's play for our ancestors to establish the Silver Alliance, and my esteemed Leader of the Council, Mr. Furland. If Chase had known, he would have been so angry with you men who tampered with the party program that he vomited blood. β
"Talk about it, Hull." Donald. Johnson seemed to be completely irritated by Hull's tone at this point. "Didn't your party, which refused to recognize the system of government of the Silver Alliance, also keep clamoring for humanity first, but once upon a time you became agents of the Rich Galaxy? Do you mean the princes of the Minotaur? Billica's Ibic must have made you all stupid. God knows, the Human Party, which is supposed to think from the perspective of humanity itself, has now become a lackey who sings praises to the Walkens. β
"At least we won't go to other people's homes to burn and loot, that's your ultimate goal, isn't it? Johnson? "Caranella, an old MP from the Liberal Italian Party, endured for a long time, and finally struggled to speak from the bottom of her heart." We have been at peace with the Vulcans for hundreds of years, and the border has never been as chaotic as it is today, what is it that makes you confused and want to start a war at this moment? Is it to disrupt an election year? Is it for the dictatorship of Wen Zhong? The old councilor's voice trembled, and after a few words, his breath became short.
"It's a malicious slander, Ryan." Donald. Johnson stared at Caranella with a blank expression, and the next words were afraid that they would not sound good, and Nathaniel tried to stop him.
"The Cooperative Party has no intention of interfering in the election, let alone trying to amend the Constitution." As the leader of the ruling party's parliamentarians, he was unequivocal.
"A despicable person thinks everything is despicable." Donald. Johnson still relentlessly attacked the seriously ill congresswoman with harsh words.
"Enough, Johnson!" Shen Yuehe seemed to be unable to listen to it anymore. "The issue can be debated, but please take matters into account, any personal attack is not allowed in my council!" The old man frowned, just glanced at the pot-bellied Johnson, and the flame of the cooperative party member was immediately suppressed.
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I will take note." Johnson took out a flexible beam handkerchief and wiped his oily sweat-stained face, and then he stretched out his hand to Shen Yuehe, indicating that he wanted to speak, and the temporary speaker nodded in agreement.
"I've got a copy of the data here, so please take a look at it." Congressman Johnson pulled a small memory tablet out of his bosom and began transmitting data to his one-way holographic screen. A blue star map flashed in a holographic projection above the hall, and the parliamentarians in attendance opened the screen in front of them to find that it was a colonial planning outline with the inscription of the Development Committee.
"This is all the galaxies we know." Johnson Hospital pointed to the star map.
"There are thousands of worlds, and the stars are like smoke, but there are only 19 habitable planets that can be developed by us." He glanced at the audience, his fat palms waving slightly.
